Default Tiny ipod speakers RIP-OFFs ><

Okay, so yesterday I was on a hunt for a good, small ipod speakers so that I could play my music when travelling this summer in areas that don't have internet or good radio (since my family likes to travel to places that are nature/hippy areas for summer vacation hehe)

Anyways, well, I went on Amazon after following this link in google (on the first page for search results on google) that had these small speakers:



I bookmarked it because it was 4 bucks! and I went through so many pages and so many websites that DID NOT HELP ME. DOn't you just want to grrrrrrrrrrr when you are looking for a good speaker or something electronic that is popular among manufacturers and you get hundreds of the same product from hundreds of different companies and all you want is someone to make a list of speakers and just tell you what is wrong with each one and what is good or bad about it?

well, I spent an hour doing this, it was frustrating finally I went back to the small speakers for 4 USD and I read the reviews and two reviews gave it FIVE stars O.o but all the others said it was a rip-off and the company was lying and did not send them everything that was supposed to come with the stereos (for example, the seller on Amazon was named "Pacific Electronics" and they said in their description that "Unlike other companies who promise an AC Adapter with their speakers we stick to our word" but three reviewers said they didn't ship the cord with the speakers!)

So, finally I did a search and found out that the real company that makes these speakers is called Pacific Rim Technologies and they had the speakers for 16 USD but on sale for 9.99USD .

Order Total:
Merchandise Total: $9.99
Discounts: $0.00
Sub-Total: $9.99

Local Tax: $0.00
State/Province Tax: $0.82
Country Tax: $0.00
Shipping: $6.17
Handling: $0.00

Order Total: $16.98

Gift Certificate: $0.00
Grand Total: $16.98

So, I finally paid 16.98 for speakers and they are supposedly the real thing.

But just warning you all that you have to do a lot of work to get something cheaper that works and that's why it is so sad that I'm poor. ><

Yeah...that pictures isn't from the merchandiser on Amazon...yesterday when i was looking at speakers the company that was ripping people off was on Amazon but today when I went to see it again and find out info about the rip-offs the company was no longer in Amazon so I just googled for th epicture to put up an example of what it looked kind of like.
